Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the warm, compassionate team and how thoroughly vets explain options and answer questions. Many mention gentle handling of anxious or hard-to-handle pets, clear treatment plans, and positive outcomes ranging from routine boosters to dental surgery. Reviewers also appreciated efficient visits, quick help in urgent situations, and an app that makes booking or rescheduling easy. A large number of long‑time clients say they wouldn’t go anywhere else.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
The most common concern was cost: several reviewers felt prices were high, noted recent increases, or perceived upselling, and a few cited expensive pet food. A small number reported being given or charged for services they didn’t intend to authorize (for example, an additional vaccine or a microchip on a treatment plan) and recommend reviewing estimates closely. There were occasional complaints about wait times or difficulty securing urgent appointments, plus isolated reports of unfriendly interactions—including one caller alleging discriminatory behaviour. A few owners also felt issues weren’t resolved or diagnoses were missed.
